84% 4 cellular. Series 4 79%.. Got it December 2020, 100% health. Hey guys, I have an Apple Watch Series 6 since April 2021, and it dropped to 92% battery health.
My series 6 got down to 81% after two years. Oddly, it dipped to 89% in the first 6 months then took the remainder to drop the next 8%. What irked me most was 81% is conveniently 1% above the cut off for a free battery replacement under apple care. One month after apple care expired, it was down to 78% 🤷🏻♂️.
S6 1 year old = 94% capacity. My Apple Watch SE is at 95% maximum capacity after almost 7 months of all day use. My Apple Watch SE has 89% Battery Health after 14 or so months which seems pretty unlucky to me, but it still gets me through the day (barely) with sleep tracking.
My about to be one year old (got it on the 27th of July last year) is at 88%, so I think either Apple screwed both of us over with the batteries or it's normal to have some quick depreciation with battery health. Reply reply. Fahfoofnik. •. S7, bought in October 2021: 86% battery health. Rarely, if ever, fast charge.
An out of warranty battery replacement at 80% or above battery health is $299, which is ridiculous and might as well get a new watch at that point. Once you are at 79% or below, the battery is essentially considered a "faulty part" and you can do a replacement for $99 by sending it in to get serviced.
It has since dropped to 92% in the past two months. Series 4, 40mm (not sure if that matters), had since Nov 2019 (but didn't wear all the time until 1 Jan 2020). Charge every couple of days and wear until it's between 5-10% battery left. Battery health is at 93%.
Edit: just found it. On the watch screen (not the app on your phone): settings, scroll to battery, scroll again to battery health. My S4 is at 86%. I notice no issues at all, works as new for me. The fact that you still have a functioning Gen 1says a lot about its health without saying anything at all.
The 80% is what they require for a free AppleCare+ battery replacement. Reply reply. t4t3r. •. Historically yes. Recent threads on macrumors indicate they aren’t replacing unless it is under 80% health. I think some of the replacements above 80% were for Edition models so that may be a factor as well.
apple would only give you a replacement if it went under 80% within the standard 12 month warranty. otherwise, it's an $80 service fee. batteries are a consumable product, and given the Watch's short battery life and most people charging it every day, 81% after 14 months seems reasonable to me. i don't see a 'cycle count' claim for the Apple ...
I feel like my S4 is not holding a charge as well lately and would like to check this. Mine was 90% after 2 years use S4. I just had my launch day series 4 replaced by Apple as the battery was sitting at 78% capacity. Not an apples to apples comparison but my launch-day XS Max is at 88%. Series 4 bought in 2018.
